<H2>Plan of the Chapter</H2>
The first section details the possible interactions between threads,
and proceeds with describing module <TT>Thread</TT>, and showing how
to execute many processes in the same application.<BR>
<BR>
The second part deals with the synchronization between
threads by mutual exclusion (<TT>Mutex</TT> module), and with waiting
for conditions (<TT>Condition</TT> module). Two complete examples
show the difficulties inherent to this module.<BR>
<BR>
The third section explains the mode of communication by events
provided by the <TT>Event</TT> module and the new possibilities which
is provides.<BR>
<BR>
The fourth section concludes the chapter with the implementation of a
shared queue for the different counters at a post office.<BR>
